"Cypher presents a sinister twist on your standard music documentary that steers the film into The Blair Witch Project territory....In addition to its connection to the rap world, "cypher" can also mean a secret, encoded way of writing. Cypher itself becomes a kind of puzzle, posing riddles about fame, the entertainment industry, and who's really in control of the film's narrative.'

"Queenmaker opens with one of the most jarring and outrageously perfect introductions to any documentary that I’ve ever seen."
- Daily Beast
"Queenmaker is essentially two movies, one a critical assessment of a time and place, the other a portrait of a person who emerged from its absurdity by becoming someone else." - Rolling Stone
"Venus is an artistic masterpiece of epic proportions, blending thought-provoking themes of sensuality, gender, racism and cultural appropriation, and more. It is a creative’s sensory binge-fest, sprinkled with the perfectly timed musical composition set to dynamic colors trips and dream-like tangents."

"The Obituary of Tunde Johnson defies genre. It is a drama that whips around from psychological thriller to magical realism to generic teen narrative....This is a movie that doesn’t play it safe.

"Through Wildness, we learn that creation myths are essential to community formation and solidarity, as they help us discover our point of origin and envision our future. The magical-realist lens of the film allowed for Tsang and Rastegar to combat the all-too-real burden of representation—a burden that flattens the existence of contradiction and the multidimensionality of human experiences."
